This looks like the Blinkist app's next evolution. Most of the summary tools you guys mentioned like notebookLLM, Scirate etc. cover general non-domain expertise and rely on simple RAG/knowledge bases.

Academia definitely needs a tool that can parse complex equations, cross-links etc.

I was using notebookLLM today with FAA aviation charts loaded and the tool still hallucinates and does not parse visual data (maps, charts) well. I can imagine that in the world of ArXiv papers similar level of complex charts and visualizations would not be processed properly

Nice idea - would love to have some kind of daily mix with all the papers from my field / some way to prioritise them automatically based on the most important ones I should have read

Ah cool! Great to see accessibility stuff like this. Listening to papers makes it much easier for me to focus on the content.

I made my own little service that converts any webpage to hopefully the parsed content then uses Google TTS and then published it to a bucket and s3 feed and I listen to them on my phone before bed.

Not undermining this effort, but one could always use notebookLM for that. Just paste arxiv pdf link in notebookLM and it generates a very good podcast that is also customizable through prompt.

Sounds p cool

Integrate with scirate for that good good:
